my only named ocs are "red" and "snake" cauuse im Very Good at coming up with names
For Black Marks, we got Kreos (Zikki), Dahayana (Yana), Sinnhurr (Sinnrē), Valdra (Val), Aldren (Dren), and Odarru (Oda) 😁
sometimes i take old english or latin words to make names for my OCs, like for Sceadu, Wascan and Lapada.

other times, i just choose whatever comes to mind. Denise, Zone, Dent, Patio and Zara all had their names randomly picked off the top of my head.

only 2 of my OCs have i asked other people to suggest names for them, those being Cocoa and Rico. coincidentally, they are two of my favourate OCs.
I just look up cool names, sometime I want a meaning sometimes not I also like having gender neutral names like Ezra .

I’m terrible with coming up with girl names though I don’t want my characters to have generic names, name generators are my best friends haha
I’m also a name nerd. Have you used behind the name? It’s a fun site for learning about names. My ocs names mostly come from there.

I have a ton of ocs but the newest one is named Andraste. I forget the name’s exact meaning, but it’s the name of a goddess of victory. It’s said that queen Boudicca called upon the goddess for aid in battle against the Romans.
One of my ocs still haven’t got a name so he goes by Floof Jacket Boy :/ (if anyone got cool name reccomendations hmu tbh

Another one is Emmaline because Emma was just too basic
I'm the complete opposite, I'm terrible with names lol, I'd love some recommendations
I don't think my oc's names are the best but they are fine i think?
Lily, Tom, Jack, Max, Roro, Blue, Fennie, Snowy, Blacky, Fluff, Marine, Star, Kat
My main group are Eri, Jack, Lyen, Seven, Cindy and some others I draw more often.
And some of the secondaries are Makiem, Slice, Tatsuya Misaki, Zyen and some I don't remember the name :'D
hilda, bastian, aaliyah, solana, eveline, and hinata :3 to name a few
I have an OC whose name is Lans, and it's short for Lancelot the Magnificent (he used to be a bard, his self esteem is okay).

My other OC is named Nala, and she's a rogue. Her real name is Lana, but she needed a fake name and she panicked...
Most of my ocs names come from ancient greek names, and using those phonetic qualities when it's a made up name. There's also a lot that come from biblical names, but only the cool sounding ones. And then there's others that use chinese and slavic sounds for names, most of those r made up tho. I have so many I can't describe them all lol
Hoho. My three mains are Arran Fein, Bucksteros and Quodence. I have others like little Lavender (Lavi), Ajax, Camellia and finally the ultimate duo: Jess and Josh (XD that’s a joke, they are comedic relief mainly)
Skyler, Ruth, Pitaya, Atlas, Selena, uh, the list goes on lol
